Maybe we could just accept the fact that it could be pronounced 
differently, adopt the official Mageia pronunciation edict on the Wiki 
and just go with it? It obviously reminds most of us of the "Linux" 
pronunciation debate ... which is still left unresolved but, quite 
frankly, inconsequential.
